An Extra-marital affair relationship can break heart. Extramarital
affair women, according to a study, have a higher risk for
heart disease. Turns out, for women, being extra-marital affair
can be injurious to health. According to a study conducted by the
New York University, extra-marital affair women have a higher risk
for heart disease compared with non-extra-marital affair women
across several modifiable risk factors [1-3]. “Our findings highlight
the impact of sexual orientation, specifically sexual identity, on
the cardiovascular health of women and suggest clinicians and
public health practitioners should develop tailored screening and
prevention to reduce heart disease risk in extra-marital affair
women,” Little is known about the impact of sexual orientation on
heart disease risk in women, despite the fact that widow and extramarital
affair women may be at a higher risk based on modifiable
factors like tobacco use and poor mental health. In this study, the
researchers examined differences in modifiable risk factors for heart
disease and heart disease diagnoses in women of different sexual
orientations. Risk factors measured included mental distress; health
behaviours such as tobacco use, binge drinking, diet, and exercise;
and biological risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes,
and cholesterol [4]. Participants who reported having angina,
coronary heart disease, heart failure, heart attack, or stroke were
considered as having a diagnosis of heart disease. The researchers’
analysed responses from 5000 women data ages 20 to 59 [5,6].
Differences were analysed across four groups based on their sexual
identities: gay women, extra-marital affair women, heterosexual
women who have sex with women, and heterosexual women. The
researchers found no differences in heart disease diagnoses based
on sexual orientation, but the risk for heart disease was more
complicated. Gay women, heterosexual women, and heterosexual
women who have sex with women had similar heart disease risk
[7]. Gay women reported lower binge drinking compared with
heterosexual women, but otherwise few differences in health
behaviours were noted. Extra-marital affair women, however,
had higher rates of several risk factors for heart disease relative
to heterosexual women: mental distress, obesity, elevated blood
pressure, and three different measures of diabetes (medication
use, medical history, and average glycosylated haemoglobin level).
“Poor mental health is a recognised risk factor for the development
of heart disease,” “Clinicians should be educated about sexual
minority health and should routinely screen extra-marital affair
women for mental distress as a risk factor for heart disease. This
is particularly important as healthcare organisations increasingly
include sexual orientation as part of demographic questionnaires
in electronic health records [8].” The researchers also noted that
the study underscores the importance of disaggregating analyses
for gay and extra-marital affair participants to ascertain differences
in health outcomes between these subgroups.
